In this update, the first of several that are going to pour into your inboxes and podcast apps over the next week, I look at what’s on the table for me in 2025. And yeah, it’s going to be a busy year.
Career pivot
- I’ve started an online course to get a certificate in Project Management
- Project management is connected to what I do running a theatre company
Theatre Stuff
- INTERFERENCE
- Strange show about connection between people
- Has a strong fever-dream energy
- Screenplay exists, but we need to remake it for the stage
- Spring showcase on April 5/6
- ANXIETY
- Davion Brown is the writer and main actor
- Sizeable funding, but not crazy money (way less than the grant we got in 2021 for Wuthering Heights)
- Script exists, but there will be a lot of devising necessary to bring this to life
- Will be involving Tania Coke in the movement aspects of the show
- Davion wants to rehearse full-time, 5 days a week
- Will need to rent a rehearsal space
- Both shows
- Will go up July 26/27
- Aug 2/3 not available at venue
- I’m not available after that
- Money from ANXIETY means a season that will end in the black
- I am going to be dead by August
- YESTERDAY
- New plan is to rehearse with actors in the winter
- Raise money before spring
- Start recording after the spring show
- Anna can do her work as post- rather than pre- production
Podcasting (stretch goals)
- Wayward Readers edit! (possible, but hard)
- Record more episodes of Does It Hold Up and finally release the show (probably impossible given the amount of other projects I have going on)
Photography
- Will probably get one or two corp jobs this year, but not holding my breath
- No longer pursuing private shoots
Sustainability
- I will leave the door open to people to support me
- Focusing on the idea of me working for you
- Take some aspects of project-based fundraising and use those
- Really feature the projects I’m working on
- Maybe their costs in terms of money and hours
- Maybe people will respond to something a little more project-oriented
- Take some aspects of project-based fundraising and use those
Other
- No music projects on the horizon; too busy
- Might play more with Suno, despite my misgivings about generative algos
- Am planning a trip to Canada after the summer show
- Found a jr high school for Hammy
- I want to continue my current sleep schedule
- Even though it makes working harder
